Description
Poppy Tower Wooden Playhouse with Slide
Let your children become kings and queens of their own castle, with our Poppy Tower Wooden Playhouse with Slide. Stood off the ground on its very own lookout, the Poppy Tower provides a fun blank canvas for dreaming up childhood games. An alien spaceship ready to abduct those who come close or a princess castle, but oh no! She's trapped by a nasty dragon! In addition to the playhouse, the Slide offers hours of additional fun. Kids love to woosh up and down the slide all day long.
Manufactured from premium Shiplap cladding – Interlocking tongue and groove boards feature a protective lip to offer a strong, premium, weatherproof panel with an aesthetically pleasing finish. The roof and floor within the playhouse are manufactured from solid sheet board which provides a hard wearing surface, ideal for everyday use. Our playhouses come with fixed, high strength, shatterproof styrene windows, meaning you can rest easy knowing your little ones will not be injured by any glass.
Benefits of a Playhouse
A playhouse provides a space where children can let their imaginations run wild. They can invent stories, role-play different scenarios, and engage in imaginative play, all of which is crucial for cognitive development. Perhaps one day their playhouse will be a spaceship, the next day it’ll be a haven away from flowing lava.
In addition to encouraging cognitive development, playing in a playhouse encourages physical activity and movement. Whether climbing, crawling, or running around, children develop their motor skills and coordination. We have designed our playhouses with this in mind, featuring a minimum 12mm finger gap around the door, planed and rounded timbers and ventilation holes and safety ladder treads, our playhouses are EN71 certified and UKCA Marked, so you can be sure your little one’s safety is our priority.
Playhouses also encourage children out of the house. We live in a world where electronic tablets and on-demand television so easily become the forefront of a child’s free time, giving children space of their own, to virtually use as they please is a sure fire way to minimise the screen time and get them enjoying the great outdoors.
Home Installation Available
So you can sit back and let us do all the hard work, why not opt for our Home Installation Service? Your new playhouse will be installed by our expert team for an additional cost.

Our team will tidy up after themselves, so the only thing you have to do is remind the kids to come inside when dinner is ready.
Prior to booking the date of your home installation with us, you will need to have a firm and level base ready for construction.

Anti-Rot Guarantee
Our playhouses come with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee as standard, meaning you can relax knowing your playhouse is covered while ever your children are young and having fun in the garden. In order to ensure the validity of the guarantee, you will need to treat your new shed every year with wood treatment to prevent fungal attacks and promote its long life.
Finance Available
Finance is a great way to spread the cost of your garden building purchase. To make it as easy as possible, we've teamed up with partners, Novuna and Klarna.
Novuna is available on orders over £500. If you pay within 12 months, you can benefit from 0% interest. Klarna offers several options, such as ‘Pay in 30 Days’ and ‘Split in Three’, both of which are also 0%. So, what are you waiting for?

Important Information
What does Dip Treated mean?
During our manufacturing process, we dip treat our entire range of playhouses. This involves applying a water based colourant to your garden building, protecting your playhouse whilst it is in storage and transit. However, it is important to note that this treatment is not a preservative. Therefore, your garden building will still require a high-quality timber preservative and waterproofing top coat as soon as possible after construction.
Where can I find the exact measurements of my playhouse?
Before purchasing your new playhouse be sure to check the specific measurements of its size in the Specification section of the product listing. As often in product titles, we round up measurements just so it’s easier for you to find your perfect garden building.
How will my new playhouse arrive?
Your new playhouse will be supplied as a flat-pack DIY kit with full instructions. If you’re taking on the project yourself, be sure to check out our Self-Installation advice page for plenty of helpful tips.
We strongly advise if you are planning on using a third party installer to construct your playhouse that you do not book their services until you receive and are happy with your garden building. As we do not cover any third party cost in the instance of a failed delivery or a damaged item preventing installation.
Please note that this playhouse has been dressed to look its very best in our product images. Any accessories or fixtures featured are not supplied with this garden building. Also, unless our Ready Painted and Installation Service is selected all of our playhouses are delivered unpainted.
Does my new playhouse come with any guarantees?
As standard, this garden shed includes a 1 year Manufacturer’s guarantee, as well as a 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee*. Just make sure to follow the product instructions and our manufacturers recommendations and your guarantee will be good to go.
What does my 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee cover?
All of our Dip Treated garden buildings benefit from our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee. This will cover your garden building against fungal decay as long as the conditions of the gurantee have been followed.
These conditions include treating your new garden building with a high-quality timber preservative and waterproof top coat.Treatments of this sort should be applied as soon as your garden building has been constructed, and reapplied annually thereafter. This will enable you to maintain your 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee and will keep your playhouse in tip-top condition!
Please note that our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee does not cover your garden building from the movement of timber that takes place over time. This includes; the twisting, warping and splitting of timber.
For more information on our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
What base do I require for my new playhouse?
A flat, level base is essential when building your new playhouse. We recommend the following bases; concrete, slab paving, ground-level bearers or a wooden frame.
Prior to building your playhouse be sure to check your base is level in both directions. If the base of your playhouse is not level when it is constructed it will cause the building to twist and warp with the natural movement of the timber. Therefore, it is really important to adjust your base accordingly to achieve this before constructing your garden building.
For more information on how to build a suitable base take a look at our handy guide. - How to Build a Shed Base
How do I care for my new playhouse?
To ensure your playhouse stands the test of time it’s important to follow the guidance outlined in your building’s product instructions and Manufacturer’s Recommendations.
We have also created these super handy Maintenance Guides to help you take care of your garden building. They are full of our expert advice and useful tips so you can enjoy your playhouse for years to come!
However, if you do need any further support, don't worry we are on hand to help. Just give our friendly Customer Service Team a call on 0800 029 1000.
How do I care for my playhouses Styrene windows?
A clear film is used to protect your Styrene windows. Once your log cabin is installed and treated this will need to be removed. This can be done by simply scoring around the edge of the window and peeling back the plastic covering inside and out.
The windows of our garden buildings are designed to fit well. However, over time due to the natural movement of the timber small gaps can occur. To prevent this from occuring make sure to seal your Styrene windows with a silicone sealant inside and out.
To see exactly how to do this, take a look at our Protect Your Shed - Silicone Window Sealant video.
